Shut Out by Kody Keplinger

3.0

3.5 Stars. SHUT OUT is a fun, quick read and is an interesting way to address double standards and how females in particular view sex and are judged for how they view sex. Keplinger never got preachy with the content, although some scenes with the girls slightly resembled an after school special. I loved the romance between Cash and Lissa. My one complaint is that I had a difficult time connecting with Lissa. In THE DUFF, Keplingers first novel, I immediately connected with Bianca and thought the ways in which Keplinger wove in her familial life into her school/sex life was really well done. In this book, it wasn't as thorough. There was a family history and some drama with the brother that I cared very little about, but it wasn't as developed. Still, this book was fun and sexy!
